realistic: get better grades, write more, read all the books on my list of books to read
unrealistic: get better at things I'm bad at, be less introverted, listen to music less (kidding. That last one isn't going to be on there.)
Spammy says: apar. Apart? I'm drifting apart from some of my friends.

Pokemon-- Finish platinum before the end of the school year. 

Creative-- Have art (comics?) of mine published. Get better at drawing. And human proportions. Have a break through with the comic I'm drawing with various associate. For one of the camp nanos, do a comic. Do both camp nanos. Win NaNoWriMo. Write a decent short story. Do more hero's journey comics. Create a fabulous main character of some type. As well as the many side characters. Buy more Bristol board. Or maybe don't buy Bristol board. Read more comic books, and more BC comics. And more real books, too. And stuff.

Realistic-- Stop procrastinating. Sit at a drawing board more. Run even though cross country is over. Read VILLIANOUS. 

Unrealistic-- Learn how to fly, learn how to wield a chainsaw, have sound vision, or invent goggles with sound vision features. Stop poverty and world hunger. Create something to stop cancer. Run an ultra marathon. Dominate the world. Stop the two antagonists one of my associates, three or four fiction characters and I are facing, and eat ice cream. Read the CANDLEMAN BOOK THREE, THE WAY OF THE DODO. I hope that one is not unrealistic. OH! Have one of my comic arctic idols be the expert on comics for my school reaserch report! Fence in the Olympics! 

Yeah... Unrealistic.

Realistic: A lot of things that have to do with writing, play chess and improve, improve in my French, and (this might be an unrealastic) memorize The Raven by Poe.

Unrealastic: build a time travel machine and go back in time.

Realistic: Get 700s on my SATs. Finish editing my book. Get accepted by more magazines.

My goals this year are to...

Learn to play the saxophone by the end of the summer, finish editing my novel by June, run well in cross country, look on the bright side of things more often, finish some cat drawings, advertise my book well, advertise my new writing website well.
